Good luck!

I doubt you will find anything you'd want to use, that will do the job.

The coverage area is quite small. getting a signal there (wireless) can be achieved easily as long as you are prepared to pay the costs of transmitter / reciever devices, and also for powered speakers, or a local amplifier. But you will need a power service at the pool location, batteries won't cut it. (110V).

Sorry! Yes I do have 110V A/C and would rather use A/C . I am looking for some water proof all in one (speaker / amp/wireless receiver) because it will stay outside. Again-I am not looking for some 1000W killer sound system - this is going to be background music for older people.Thanks

There are several options available to you, however NONE of them are waterproof that can be left outside that I've ever found.

How far are you trying to go? Is there a Pool house or any other shelter thats near the pool? "Wireless SPeakers" arent going to cut it. Your should do a wireless Stereo transeiver setup to get a good feed out to the pool, from there you can do a basic Stereo receiver or amp to drive a pair of speakers.... WIRED.

But you need shelter, and in the neighborhood of $800-$1000 for the transceiver setup.......... as long as its not more than 150 feet or so...
